The Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking a profound social and health impact in the field of comprehensive medical rehabilitation, having served more than 125,000 patients. The celebration took place on Dec. 7 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jeddah, showcasing the hospital’s historical milestones and key achievements.
The event was held under the patronage of Deputy Emir of Makkah province Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, and in the presence of Jeddah Gov. Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Jalawi. It was attended by Hassan Jameel, deputy president and vice chairman of Abdul Latif Jameel, in addition to leaders from Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital, Abdul Latif Jameel, and prominent figures from the public and private sectors.
The Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital was established in 1994 and has built a legacy of achievements as the first private medical rehabilitation hospital in Saudi Arabia. With a state-of-the-art facility in Jeddah spanning 43,000 square meters, it houses eight wings with a capacity of 76 beds and offers a range of outpatient services.
The idea behind the hospital dates back to the early nineties when the late Abdul Latif Jameel suffered a stroke that severely impacted his well-being, prompting him to travel abroad to receive treatment. Upon his return, he sought to establish a specialized center for medical rehabilitation that would serve the people of Saudi Arabia and its residents. His son, Mohammed Jameel carried the torch after him and began the center’s construction, implementing it, and supervising its management.
